Matthew 7:9-11
7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Sentence which reads "God always gives the best for His son" was a phrase that became a "law". This sentence is a sentence in a sure and true. But sometimes we can not see the goodness of God in our lives. So the sentence above can be changed to "what is good according to God's not necessarily good by us.
When we see the goodness of God then we must prepare ourselves to experience the discomfort zone. Looks like God did not give the good. Looks like God was giving a stone to us. Though clearly intended that the above verse we affirm that God would provide the best for us.
Then we must obey the law of the kingdom of heaven. Obedient means we have to wait God's time. Obedient means "now". It means we are loyal obedient to death without the slightest objection from us. And obedience is what will bring us to God's time zone. Where is God when the time arrives then we will be able to feel a statement which reads "what is good according to God's will be really good to us.
To obey this necessary faith. To obey is also needed hope and love. So faith, hope and love must become an integral part of our lives. That's why God gave us a lesson in the form of a problem for growing our faith, hope and love . So pray is the breath and also have our weapons to face the problems and difficulties of our lives. Today if you see God then you will not see a problem. Just believe that the time the Lord will become part of our life and goodness. GBU
Matthew 7:7-8
7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Without work then we will not get any results. Work is an obligation of us to glorify God's name. By working then it proves that the power and the love of God working in our lives.
Sometimes we see people who have a spiritual growth stagnated. Already many years to be Christians but have never experienced any miracles or breakthroughs life. Looks like he did not experience an encounter with Jesus. Why? in fact : Jesus is within us is great God, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit who helps us so perfect, the bible we hold is a bible scripture with perfect knowledge.
one reason is because we do not work spiritually. If working in a physical body will produce food for body as well as spiritually, if we work will result in spiritual food. often we just pray it without trying. often we do ministry because of an obligation not because of God's purpose. too often we do not have the motivation and clear objectives when we become a Christian.
These things hinder our spiritual growth. we do not respond to the call of God which means we do not work for the Lord. So eventually our spiritually become stunted because we do not receive the spiritual food.
God has given us convenience in working. God commands us to 'ask', 'find', and 'knocked on His door'. All the orders it is a verb should be noted. God does not ask us to dwell alone. because faith without works is useless. the act which is God's work we must do to get food and water of life available to us.
Today, let's work spiritually as well as physically. because it will bring us to live victoriously. God bless you
Jhon 19:21 Martha said,"Master, if you'd been here, my brother Would not have Died"
when Jesus died on the cross, so many people who doubted God's promise that he is able to atone for sins humans. many people doubt that he will come on the third day. so it is with His student. they also had doubts about Jesus Who called the child of God. but on the third day Jesus has risen. and this is evidenced by the appearance of Jesus to some students and people around Him.
Doubts often arise when we face various kinds of problems. Is that True that the risen Jesus was able to finish my personal problems? I was not able to face my problem and I've handed it to God! but is that true that the Lord able to solve my problem?
The same doubts experienced by Mary and Martha when their brother Lazarus died. They doubt and assume that the coming of Jesus is too late. but after Lazarus lived and this shows that Jesus never too late to help us.
God give us in a different way in helping us. for us is late, but for Jesus was not that late. Not be for us but for Jesus was not something that is not possible. everything possible for Jesus.All we think is too late actually intended to allow us to know God's incredible power. Lazarus had been dead for several days. And Jesus has revealed His power to Mary and Martha and Lazarus. What happens if Lazarus was still alive and not dead at that time? of course it is only the healing power that can be viewed. But now we can see the power of His resurrection.
So today, we must be patient and believe in the Lord's help. Believe that nothing is too late for God
Someone who was gravely ill, finally accept Jesus as his savior after his friend came to visit him and preach the good news of salvation. A few minutes after they prayed, with no unexpected, the man who got sick had died. All the family grieving, including his friends. But they were all relieved and confident that he have accepted Jesus as his Savior and has been in the lap of Jesus in the Garden of Eden.
The same was experienced by a criminal who had crucified Jesus on the right. Criminals repent and accept Jesus as the Savior. Thus Jesus led him to enter the garden of Eden. Jesus has provided tremendous safety to us. Even if we do evil, but if at the end of our lives, we still had a chance to repent and accept Jesus as the Savior, then we will get a part of the kingdom of heaven.
But now we have to consider is: Are today we're dying? Do we know when we will die? Is that now we're waiting for the seconds of death, so that we can just repent and regret our sins?
Well, I believe we are all in good condition and healthy. When we are baptized in the name of Jesus, indeed we have received safety first. But the question is: what can we hold that salvation until we die and face to the Father? This period should be noted.
There are Christians who eventually left Jesus as disillusioned with his church friends. Of course these people will not accept a part of the kingdom of heaven. Unless he turned back and repent. There are those who steadfastly defend his faith in Jesus even though he should be tortured and hated by many people. Of course these people are those who are eligible to receive part of the kingdom of heaven.Salvation is not only happening when we are baptized only. But salvation occurs when we still hold until we die.
The period in which when we receive salvation from Jesus until we die it is a period in which determines whether we get a portion of the kingdom of heaven. This period is very important and we must hold all the time. So as the man who anointed the Lord we must be able to carry out God's command. Because God commands that not only pleases God, but for the good of our lives.
One thing for sure is if we keep hold our faith strong until we die, then the kingdom of heaven is certainly not only accepted in heaven, but also on this earth.
God bless you
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Life is not free from a problem. when we got up in the morning we've faced with any problem. Perhaps the problem of work, maybe a problem at school or maybe health issues and our children. Change of the time is not seem to lead to good things for human life. Every day we often hear bad news. such as earthquakes, floods, global warming, war, etc..
That problem gives a bad hope for us and the lives of our children in the future. But right now there is a good news for us. a story that gives us hope that it will all problems will be resolved.
A name that gives us hope for our bright future. The good news is Jesus Christ our Lord and savior. When we believe in Him then all our sins and our problems will be covered in his name. No bleak future if we are in Jesus. Although the world has a difficult problem, but Jesus was able to lift us so that we become a blessing to the world.
On this day I want to give testimony about the power of God. Last night as usually i lead the program at a radio station with the theme of family solutions. This broadcast is open to those who want to share about life issues and for those who want to pray together. Together with the priest who becomes a guest in this event so we started praying for some people affected by illness and also provide a solution of the problem encountered.
But in the event there is an interesting thing. A mother asked to pray about hes illness and she also testified that the child affected by kidney disease or kidney failure has been healed because she pray to Jesus. This is really magical and strengthens us all.
kidney disease is a disease that is impossible to recover. God has been replaced with a new kidney. Because for God nothing is impossible. It also gives assurance to us that when we depend on and hand over all the problems of our lives to God then God will intervene to solve our problems.
God is moving to provide relief for us. Because God is greater than our problems. and that is A lot of evidence that shows the power of God. So today let us all dependent on the Lord with a calm heart and sincere. So all of it becomes good. God bless you
Genesis 41:17-21
41:17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the banks of the river: 41:18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favored; and they fed in a Meadow:
41:19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favored and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
41:20 And The lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: 41:21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favored, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
The nightmare experienced by the king Pharaoh was a nightmare which eventually could become a bad reality. However, because the king Pharaoh knows what will happen to his country so he can take preventive measures so that the nightmare did not happen. Through Joseph, the country finally freed from Egyptian great famine. Even all the countries around Egypt finally sought help from Egypt. This is a state of good and prosperous for the country and the people of Egypt.
now let us imagine, what was happen if the king Pharaoh ignored his nightmare? what was happen if the king did not trust Joseph who was a prisoner and an Israeli? No doubt we will be able to answer it very easily. Egypt will be crushed by the great famine and many people will die of hunger.
Sometimes God allows bad dreams occur in our lives. The nightmare that could be our bad experience, our fail work, households that began not in a harmony, and everything bad that ever happened to our lives. The nightmare is like giving a bad image about our future. And it is true!!!
Because if we do nothing and stay silent only, so the nightmare will be happens and our future will be not good !!!
indeed a nightmare we are experiencing is a dream that gives us the steps to improve our future in order to be successful. Because God wants us to be successful and not bankrupt.
Like Joseph, who was called by God to interpret the pharaoh's nightmare, so the Lord has called His servants here on earth to be our mean nightmares. Pastor, priest, our friends are one of trust and community are the servants of God who are able to give us advice for our bad dreams for not become reality in the future. And if we make suggestions of God's servants who must be in accordance with the Words of God then our future will be more brilliant.
God bless you

1 korintus 13: 11
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
A newborn requiring treatment and soft food. A mother and father should treat with caution and with gentleness. Babies will grow into children and the children will become teenagers and teenagers will become adult. As we've grown so we can not go back to the children or babies again. Our physically become large and our ability to be better and stronger.
So it is with our spiritual. When we repent and accept Jesus as our savior, we still need a gentle spiritual food. Every day we learn biblical together with a teacher. When there was a slight problem we immediately came to our spiritual mentor. We really depend on the human higher spiritual level. It is also possible to us which easy to anger and often got advice from some of our friends.
But when we've grown spiritually, we must have a better understanding of the spiritual. We are no longer dependent on humans but to Jesus. The problem that comes we should give to Jesus and not man anymore. Our lives should be one with Jesus Christ.
Paul gives an example of a gentle spiritual food. He describes the shape you into some action and attitude of the heart. As found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth notes; vaunteth not charity itself, is not puffed up,
13:5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily Provoked, Thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
As our spiritual level is still a baby then that verses is a soft food for us. But when we've grown spiritually then that verses must be integrated within us. We should be able to add the Charity deeds not only of paragraph 3 to 7 only, but must be more than paragraph 7. Because Paul gives an example then we also gives example too.
Today let's we see our spriritual, is that our spiritual is grow up?
God bless You

Daniel 3: 24-25
3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his Counselors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is a picture of children of God who truly trust to uphold the faith in God. Although the king Nebuchadnezzar put them in a very hot fire, but their faith is not shaken. The fear and horror was in front of their sight. The image of pain and suffering also was in front of their sight. But they still would not worship the statue that is considered a gods by men. They just want to worship only for the true God. Their faith and determination finally was paid by God. They experienced God's miracles. They did not burn at all because the angel of God helped them. God really follow people those who fear of Him.
fireplace burning is a picture of the suffering that we experience today. Economic difficulties, illness, a broken family is a frightening image for us. Looks like we will experience suffering in front of us. While the world seems to offer something better and convenient to resolve our problem. There are paranormal who can cure you immediately, there was illegal business that can generate huge profits, there are also bars and casinos, which seemed to give peace to our souls. Everything was quick and easy. All the world offer is very interesting and unusual.
In this area God examine our faith. Will we still keep faithfuly to God even the shadow of suffering is in front of our sight? Will we still worship God even we are in trouble?
When we join and follow the way of the world, then the truth is we are leaving God and we worship the idols of the world. But when we keep the faith to worship only the Lord Jesus then the truth is God's angels are accompanying you to fortify you from the suffering. Remember! That the safety of the world is only temporary and only on the earth while the salvation of the Lord Jesus is the eternal and everlasting to the earth and in heaven forever

Matthew 22:1-2
22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Jesus gave the parable of the kingdom of heaven with the king who held a wedding banquet for his son. This parable is very interesting and good for not talking about a rule or law of God but talking about human preferences that is a party.
The wedding is something festive. Inside were a variety of delicious foods with nuts and bolts of beautiful wedding. So if we were invited and went into the wedding, we will be ready to enjoy delicious food and meet people. We will also listen to the melodious music with the singer and a beautiful voice. The wedding will really pamper ourselves. The peak of the wedding is that we will see brides of men and women standing together on the wedding.
One interesting question is why Jesus described the kingdom of heaven with the wedding? Is not "party" itself is a symbol of the grandeur of the world. Why Jesus did not describe it with others such as law or commandments of God?
Indeed Jesus was giving us that picture of the kingdom of heaven is so beautiful. Kingdom of heaven is there substantially. Jesus describes the beauty with the beauty of the wedding. King of the heavenly Father invites us to enter and enjoy the wedding of HIS son of a single Jesus Christ. Church of God is the bride and Father through His servants on earth invited us to attend the wedding.
When we are baptized and accept Jesus as our savior indeed we have been invited to attend the "big party" was. Jesus does not want us to wear old clothes and dirty. So with His blood of expensive. He atone for our sins and gave us new clothes appropriate for the wedding.
At the time of the old covenant God gave this wedding invitation with the law. The law was intended for the children of Israel. But because many of the nation of Israel that violate the law, then the party invitations are now applies to all nations who believe in the salvation of the Lord Jesus. We obtain grace because we can go and enjoy the food kingdom of heaven. The time is near. Date and time stated in the invitation that was close. Is there any among us who throw away the invitation? Or is there among us who have not had a new dress and decent to attend the big party?
Always remember that "For many are called, but few are chosen.(Matthew 22:14)" Of course we are chosen by God will truly keep the party invitations and party clothes are not wasted. God Bless You
Jesus Christ is our God
Jhon 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man Cometh unto the Father, but by me.
"The way" means a bridge between one place to other places. The way could also be a bridge,
highway or underground tunnels. When we through the right way then we must come to the correct destination. So the way has a important meaning and function in a trip.
Jesus Christ with courage makes a statement that He is "the way", the truth and the life. That Statement was not originally understood by His students.But after going through with a evidence of HIS sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection and His ascension to the heaven, Now it is not just the students alone, We also understand why Jesus Christ is called The way, The truth and the life. As "the way" of life, of course we just live through it. The way was so clear and there before us. The way that would lead us to eternal life salvation.
In this world there are many ways of life. Various customs, religious rules until a fairy tale or certain beliefs whom many people believed as the way of life. But if you look carefully that this "way of life" is not a real path.That “way of life"
is more directed as a "guide salvation". That means we only “Just been told” about the ways to the salvation. We are not given the way itself. We can not see and feel
that way. And this certainly is not perfect. Very possible for us to get lost and the wrong direction when we try following the instructions of that way. Very possible that the way is a full of danger.
Suppose that when we are as a foreign tourists in Hongkong country. When we want to China then we has two choices: ask the local person of Hongkong or use those services The local person of Hongkong to deliver us to China (tour guide). If we ask Hongkong peopele is very maybe we are lost. Population of Hongkong is crowded and busy, unfamiliar language in our ears and coupled with the number of lines transport both sea and land will make us confused with earlier guidance. But if we choise the second way it is wearing a tour guide services, then we will easily reached in China. We live follow these steps our tour guide and we can enjoys a beautiful of China country.
Our brother beloved of God, when we believe and perform the command of the Lord Jesus, we're walking on a real way safety. We are not get lost because even in the valley the shadow of death Lord Jesus remains with us. He is our shepherd who leads us to the prairie green. We are not afraid of the danger of eternal death because of
Lord Jesus has redeemed with His blood. So now there are only options on our hands. And Jesus Christ is the most accurate choice and would lead us to eternal salvation. God bless you
Jesus Christ is our God
Hebbrew 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Stepping to the grace of God it means that we have committed to life led by the Holy Spirit. life with is led by Holly Spirit requires willingness and love.Is there life was filled with love? Is there life is in conformity with the commands of God? Are there any of us been led by God to get to victory? When we can answer these questions and make answers this then we must be prepared to brave step to
follow Jesus. Dare have the sense that we dare to face all the risks that exist when we follow Jesus. Is also willing to dare to deny ourselves who is a sinner. Dare to forgive and ask forgiveness for our neighbor. And the The most important is the courage to love Jesus Christ fully as we love ourselves.
A soldier would dare to die on the field battle. He is already holds a commitment to fight for his country. The same commitment we have to grasp when we follow Jesus. A Whole body and our soul We must boldly turned over to the Lord Jesus. Thus we have gone to the throne of love of God.
If we compare with the throne of the world's wealth. If we are given the opportunity to occupy the throne, it is not necessary courage to meet the world. Because we can simply take and enjoy it. Our minds are filled with dreams and fun. We've had a fantasy about it ,what fun things we'll do it later. Maybe shopping at the mall, on vacation at the hotel etc. famous.
But when we are faced with the throne of grace,It means we will also deal with the King's sat on the throne. King of Kings is Jesus Christ our Lord and God. That is why takes courage to step to this throne. The fact that our courage behind it will eternal blessings be upon property beyond the world. People are willing and allowed the king was people officially summoned by the king. When We remember Esther who courageously went to the king, although not called. Ester at that time have the possibility to be executed by the king. But the king was pleasing to him and granted the request of Esther.
So it is with us! We do not deign to facing the Lord Jesus for our sins. But
when we dare to face the Throne of His bounty. then the love of God will be with us forever. God bless you
Psalm 55:22 Cast thy Burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Worries is the barrier of our lives to thanks. If worries stay in our lives the disease would soon come. Anxiety appears and our lives are like a tree whose roots weak. Our Live will collapse.
There are many ways to relieve worries. Might by diverting it to the job. Or came to a friend and tell it.But unfortunately we still can not escape from worries. Anxiety is still there. Because the way of men have always had a weakness.
" Cast thy Burden upon the LORD " a phrase that David said when he pursued the enemy. The meaning of the word is very deep. When we cast it is means that we release it. When we leave, but has not released then it means we are not 100 percent
cast. Our worries is still at my hand
Lord Jesus offers Himself to all our worries . He wants to be a disposal of all our Worries.When we cast our worries and let the worries had been held by Jesus. Jesus is greater than our Worries.Worries is not in mind again. But sometimes we are still thinking about our worries. This is we must remove. We must to think that it is not us who holds our lives but the Lord Jesus who holds our lives. Although we in the valley of darkness, but the hand of God remains with us. Our lives in the hands of God. So now yield everything to God. God Bless
Jesus Christ is our God
Joshua 5:6
" For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. "
Life can not be separated from the problem. When we
face the problem then we really are trained
by God to be a perfect human being. Problems will
make us grow up. Problems will make us
become more familiar with God and the problem has
period of time. But there are some people who have
problem but the problem is always the same and it is difficult to
finished. This is a question that must be
we said, why did it happen?
The people of Israel experienced severe problems when they
were in the wilderness. A hot wilderness and
dry. But God preserve Them with food
called manna. During the 40 years the people of Israel should
across the barren desert and dry to
to the land of Canaan (promised land)
But what do the people of Israel when they
were in the wilderness? Many of them who
grumble, part protest and wanted to return to
Egypt (the land of slavery). They often complain to
God. The result?
They go through the wilderness 40 years (
should be just less than 1 year) by way of
spin. Many of them who die in the desert.
And only the choosen person that it could enter the Land
Canaan.
If they do not protest and complain to the
God. If they continue to praise and glorify the name of
God, then they will be able to enter the promised land (
the land of Canaan)
So it is with us, if we're in trouble
(desert) we should not grumble -
grouse. Let us not protest to God.
But let us continue to praise and glorify the name of
God. keep hold the promise of God. Say with our mouth and tongue .because God are taking us to the promised land
(abundance). Our lives are enhanced by the Lord.
Because if we complain to God. So
the problem will never be finished and we will continue to
walking in a barren desert. Therefore
grateful to the problem encountered in our life.
And God will lead us to the promise of HIS
extraordinary.
Genesis 17:2: And I will make my covenant between me and
thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
When someone had a promises ,he will say something expectation to someone.Expectations must be met by the person in a timely manner.If the other person is like a girl believed with promise the person who was also a guy. So The girl will wait patiently. Maybe once in a while the girl will ask again about the promise that
these guys have spoken. Approaching the day then she will continue to hope and maybe she will often contact the boys to ensure that expectations will be fulfilled on time. And finally just as promised then the guy kept his promise to give hope
on the girl is.
But what happens if the girl does not believe would promise to say the guy is? Or maybe The girl is believed but approaching the appointed day suddenly this girl hesitated and did not believe anymore it?
The real is that a promise of hope who have been uttered by the boy was soon abandoned. Promise not happen for real.
Similarly, the God who has made a promise with humans. Promises God has spoken by the Lord itself and is written into the Bible and given stamp by the blood of the Lamb of God which is Jesus Christ. God has spoken HIS promise and God can not break HIS promises. The time God assigned to fulfill His promise is accurate and beautiful.
So God's promise is true and real.
The Bible contains so many promises of God and untul now the Bible still to be the book of life for our people who believe in the Lord Jesus. That means that the promise of God which has been written in the Bible really happened to those who believe. If the promise of God is not occurs then the Bible would not be the book of life until now. Because time is a witness who shows a truth and lies.
The Bible also records of Abraham who is the father of a great nation. Abraham is a person who also a prophet of God who faithfully waiting for God's promise.
If Abraham did not believe in the promise of God then Abraham will never be the father of the nation. Although Abrahamwait until he is a very old. But finally God fulfil His promise. God's promise of hope not only that unusual but contains about a great hope for human beings which also includes the world.
If today we still not enjoy the promise of God then The easiest way that we can wait until the time arrives is to describe God's promise that contained in the Bible. Just as a girl who continue to call a guy to make sure promise will be fulfilled at the time of the day. Tell continue with our tongue and mouth. Pray and raises praise thanksgiving. Believe that the time will surely come and beautiful in time. All that for our own good as a man of God's creation. Gbu

Do not leave the House Bread
When we're away from God verily we're away the blessing of God, and when we're closer to God indeed, we are approaching the blessing of God. Worship, ministry,praying and praising God, and attention to our neighbor who is image of God is an attempt to draw near to God. But need we realize that firstly God Jesus opened the way to us to draw near to the Father in heaven. And Jesus referred to as the door to get to kingdom of heaven
John 10:9
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find Pasture. "
Pasture not only describe Heaven which we will live in there but also describes the abundance or a blessing we receive in this world. Abundance of grace that it can be of health, God's wisdom, wealth material, a good friend of faith, etc..
We referred to as the sheep and Jesus is our Good Shepherd. So that when we think
Jesus commands, the road to blessing God will open wide
Ruth
4:14 “And the women said unto Naomi,Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a Kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel”
Naomi is the picture of a women who have been away from God since Naomi left Israel and go to Moab. Israel is a picture from the source or house blessing bread because there are the true with His blessing God in Israel even at that time the nation Israel suffered drought. When Naomi away from God then Naomi lost a lot of blessings. Initially Naomi brings a lot of food or thanks to before leaving Israel. But long provisions that would eventually run out. So We also initially took a very so many blessings from God but when we leave God so long then long provisions the blessing would eventually run out and we will again be a human being drought. Naomi had the misfortune when she was in the land of Moab. She lost of two her son and her husband and this makes Naomi decided to return to Israel.Naomi has not got anything else.
Naomi was a sincere and consider the future of the two daughter in law. So she was willing for the two daughters in law to marry again to their descendants. However, one of Ruth the Moab is a sincere woman. Ruth willing to help Naomi walked together into the countryIsrael.
Ruth was willing to sacrifice for no back to Moab and married to the front. We know that the end of the This story is happiness. Ruth get a husband who is a employers are very wealthy. That is Boaz. And of their lineage King David was born and eventually also birth of our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord and our God.
What we can learn from this story?
The core of this story is sincerity heart. When we have a heart sincere and well then it is the way our opening to the house of bread. Ruth sincere in helping in-law Naomi
Naomi was so sincere in the help daughter in law Ruth. Ruth to be married with Boaz because Naomi Helped. Similarly Ruth,Ruth sincere help in the get food in Israel for Naomi. Naomi also sincerely acknowledged that Israel and God's power is the house of bread and the source of blessing. This proved with Naomi's return to Israel from Moab. God sees our sincerity.
How sincerely us to closer to God?
we often hear that God is source of blessing and places or the presence of
God is the home of the bread of life. Do not leave the house of bread! Even today we are experiencing trouble. We must have a sincerely heart. Because if God is rightstill reigned over our lives so the bread of life or the source of blessing
will continue to flow in our lives .

Isaiah 55:6
55:6 Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while he is near:
One time a subordinate makes a fatal mistake in the task. The error was so close to the state officials who were his boss's dismissal. Resent the fault of the subordinate then the state officials plan to fire. but before dismissal occurred, subjects with high courage to meet the officials at his residence. With persistence because of the difficulty the authorities to find ,the end they met. The official all-out rage.
But the official end of his anger saying "today I'm willing to meet you for considering the first job service that has raised me to be today, but tomorrow I would not want to see you again, because when you make this mistake, you have made me almost get fired with no respect by my boss "
Heard that the subordinates were immediately told to plead with bowed heads "Sir, please do not fire me, because this is only my job and my favorite, this is the only my pride that is to serve master. Tomorrow I promise and a commitment not to make that mistake again . Now I've made a proposal for activities during the month to serve the master. May the master willing to read it "
The officer read the proposal and he was stunned that this servant was a tenacious and diligent and have a good mind and according to his own. The proposal has the prospect to raise his post after .Finally rocked with a very deep so the dismissal was not done. the subordinate is very happy to hear that and he was motivated to not make mistakes again in the future.
In the days of the old testamen, a person who committed the sin must sacrifice. It named the victims of the sin offering which aims to make atonement between God and man. Victim was a certain animal is slaughtered like a lamb to be offered in the holy temple. with the victim is a sign that God was still willing to encounter. God also still be searchable, meaning "time" God has provided for people to find and meet with HIM.
What about the new testament? at the time of the new testament,(or presents)the age of grace is extraordinary. Through Jesus the Messiah is not ours anymore to seek God but God who seek us.
John: 15:16
15:16 Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.
This was also evidenced by the coming of the Lord Jesus to earth to find and rescue His beloved people that we are His creation. We now have the freedom to meet any HIS time. Victim ransom had been available every time that HIS blood gushing on the cross. We took it and applied it to stay in HIS temple in our spirit, soul and body.
However, we must remember!! once again we must remember! God created time for us was very limited. Today we may freely meet with HIM. But what if tomorrow, Have God still pleasure anymore? In reading the above book is tucked the words "whle". "while" He may be both "while" he was close. That means there are a limit specified period of time for us to meet with God. It could be 1 year, 2 years or maybe more. We will not know about it. But there are 3 things that become the benchmark for us when God is not pleased encountered by us, is:
1. When we die, and wallowing in sin without any remorse even though we already know Jesus. (remember the story of Lazarus and the rich)
2. When we die without knowing Jesus Christ at all even though the news of salvation that was done. (I am the door: John 10:9)
3. At the end of the judgment-day period when we had arrived and we still do not know Christ or have known Him but did not do His will (Matthew 25:41).
So long as we're still alive, God was pleased to meet us. Human age is very limited. our opportunity to meet with HIM also very limited. Like the story of a subordinate who had used the time to meet with his superiors as well as possible. Well what about us? Will we all want to use the time to call for God's forgiveness and to give proposals on the things that pleases God?
Make sure that the Lord was pleased to meet us forever in the eternal life.
God bless you
Jesus save me
Jesus love everything about you
Jesus Saved my life
7:15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. Amos 7:15 (king James version)
Amos is not a prophet but God say His will to Amos. God will say His will to us too if we got a make friend relationship with Him.
Praying, Read the bible and do His will! , make a quiet time with God, Always say with your mouth the word of God when the problem coming....Pleasure the heart of God and you will hear the beautiful voice of God
